I am not able to reproduce when I booted my test system with "mem=8G
memmap=4G!8G". I ended up with a single pmem:
[ 57.750556] nd_pmem namespace0.0: unable to guarantee persistence of
writes
[ 57.881573] pmem0: detected capacity change from 0 to 4294967296
However in the reported kmsg, it appears that memmap is splitting into 2
namespaces rather than providing a single one, and the first region
ended up ending in the same section as start of the second region and
thus triggered the warning and having the second namespace rejected.
kern :warn : [ 76.646531] nd_pmem namespace0.0: unable to guarantee
persistence of writes
kern :info : [ 76.661660] pmem0: detected capacity change from 0 to
534773760
kern :warn : [ 76.670129] nd_pmem namespace1.0: unable to guarantee
persistence of writes
kern :warn : [ 76.670290] ------------[ cut here ]------------
kern :warn : [ 76.670372] nd_pmem namespace1.0: Conflicting mapping
in same section
